So, there is an affiliate that just sent 2000 hops to my product in less than 2 days... The product usually converts 1:50 - but he got no sales, which obviously means the target is not targeted at all... so all it does is eats up my bandwidth... Should I worry/Do anything about it?
Yes, contact Clickbank and complain! Please! I think something must be wrong on their end because I happen to also be promoting a product that normally converts at about 1 in 50. Since September 21, I have had only 1 sale in 450 hops. (And my traffic is very targeted). So I think the problem is with Clickbank rather than the affiliate. If you do complain to Clickbank, I'd really appreciate if you'd let us know the outcome. Good luck!
hehe. just give him some time. I think he's trying to help you to make some sales, but using a wrong approach. Maybe you need to educate your affiliates about SEO and targeted traffic.
Probably just purchased pop up traffic for a couple of bucks and sent them to your site hoping for the best
Whoa, that's a lot of hops for no sales. Hopefully he is not using PTC. That's a horrible way to advertise. Jon
Maybe it is PTC. But why? Well, the competitor sends thousands of uniques hoping to overload the server... so the site will go down.
It will take alot to take the server down! As terryd says.. He's probably just trying to send bulk traffic and hoping for the best. Good Luck Ashley
He'll be doing - bulk traffic PTC autosurfs But why? becuase he is daft and thinks it works because he is cookie stuffing and wants bulk traffic to lower potential conversions
I sent 3000+ hops to 2 products and got 1 sale. The product was for a DIY credit repair guide. This product nomally converts (im the affiliate) well. I contacted clickbank and said that the traffic came browsed and left? It was highly targeted traffic coming from credit repair articles I have on a financial portal. I need new ways to generate revenue from my traffic. I get 10,000+ uniques a day that are looking for financial help of some sort. Any ideas? Thanks.
Don't tell me you sales letter has a mysql database that could crash. If it's just raw html or php, than they can hammer the hell out it and it probably won't crash. Just make sure your images are optimized and things aren't in a database and your site should survive the front page of digg.
I've had a couple of affiliates send a ton of junk traffic to one of my sites. One of them did actually get a sale after something like 10k hops. Don't worry, it won't hurt anything and you may eventually get a sale from it.
